At this moment in time, you can deposit fiat currency into Bitcoin ATM and receive bitcoins to your account. You can also send bitcoins and receive fiat currencies (although there are some difficulties in the latter due to network-specific requirements).

You're fine. The government will be content to gradually steal your money through inflation. The EU is a special case because the provinces of the EU are all so different and are still semi-independent. Most likely the Euro will collapse and the EU will become nothing more than an int...

I love how the reporters call it "taking a haircut" when the government simply decides one day to take people's money. I'd love to see this turned into a poster for Bitcoin, a big creepy government barber, maybe Uncle Sam as a barber, shears at the ready, creepy smile, standing behind...

Join bitcoin-dev for further updates (please don't pester while people work). Looks like the chain was forked by a bug in 0.7. 0.8 nodes didn't suffer and carried on. A solution is in the works. What do I do??: If your not mining, just sit tight. If you are mining, ask your pool. 0.8 ...

Just got this email from Namecheap after I posted my support for bitcoin: "We are in the process of intergrating BitCoin into Namecheap and we need some BitCoins for performing some tests. If you are interested in sending some BitCoins to us, we will be glad to credit your Namecheap a...

Except you can only get Raspberry Pi's from one place, and they prefer to sell to education and non-profits. You can't clone a Raspberry Pi, and you can't use the SoC for your own board, because it's proprietary(Broadcom). So if you're building a device with it, there's no way to guar...

It is the number of Bitcoins that have to be bought in order for the price of the per Bitcoin to reach a certain price. If you go to MtGox Live , you will see a vertical portion of the blue line at $32.00. The height at that line is roughly $43,000 meaning that $43k has to be spent bu...

It depends on the database driver. The pg driver allows both synchronous and asynchronous calls. The synchronous calls will block all threads until the results return where the asynchronous ones require two method calls, but allow the interpreter to continue processing other things. T...

It's a good suggestion. The free/open source movement is highly aligned to Bitcoin's roots and principles. But we should work on making the Bitcoin offering self-evidently valuable, rather than having to apply pressure. The word pressure makes it slightly adversarial. Vendors should b...

If you mean Nike doesn't pay late, because they are a big corporation, I have the opposite opinion. In my experience, the biggest corporations pay when they feel like it. We spent 2 years contacting coke trying to make them a client. When we finally landed the account, we had one asso...

Not to mention reddit accepting bitcoins will actually do a lot for the stability of bitcoin value. Now, you can ALWAYS buy something with bitcoin. You don't have to go a state over or have something shipped. Bitcoin will be heavily influenced by the price of reddit gold. Bitcoin will...

Just stole this from a ZeroHedge comment; perhaps it will resonate with someone else here: "Draconian cash controls are coming to France"... "bitcoin users not affected." "Hyperinflation about to strike Venezuela and Argentina"... "bitcoin users not affected." "Americans unable to ope...

I'm pretty sure you don't have to either. True, and I don't, thank FSM. But my complaint wasn't that he has no point, rather that he comes off as an indcredible douchewad in that post. The overblown and pretentious metaphor, unnecessary importing of foreign-language words, overall "fu...

This... this is an absolute genius move. I knew someone would eventually come up with some killer way to leverage the hell out of Bitcoin's strengths, and this looks like it. Notice that the reseller lets you buy the vouchers anonymously , plus there's an insanely easy affilliate prog...

There should be a google shopper style search engine that lets you look for products available to buy with bitcoin. I know I'm going to need filament in the near future, but I worry that I'm not going to find my way back to this thread.

I'm in a speech and debate club, and one of the events that I compete in is extemporaneous speaking, where we give speeches on current events with citations from articles we have collected in advance. Twice in the season, I have talked about BTC, but I haven't had any articles to cite...

I'm really excited about this. I participate a lot in a quasi-popular framework where we've been using SMF and now Vanilla and neither seem quite as simple as we want. Integrating IRC-style chat, mailing lists, and forum functionality is brilliant. We have that all fragmented right no...

There is no way blockchain.info has been hacked and funds stolen, correct? Have no idea. No system is 100% secure, so factually, there is "way". They don't store passwords on their site, so this shouldn't be an issue, I'm assuming. You are assuming incorrectly. It depends on how you s...

I think for some people it's somewhat like watching a movie. They aren't doing it for a profit, they are doing it for the random thrill of it. If I start winning in poker, I just make more outrageous plays until I've lost the amount of money I was looking to spend. Games of pure chanc...
